Something sinister has invaded an idyllic subtropical paradise off the coast of Florida, and it's hungry for tourists. When a vacationing family disappears on the island, a children's psychologist is called in to speak with the only surviving witness--a young boy rendered mute by shock. Determined to uncover the truth behind his trauma, she brings him back to the island, unaware that she's likely to become someone's lunch. Special effects rule the day in this creature feature from the creative minds behind such hits as ANACONDA, DEEP BLUE SEA and JURASSIC PARK.
